Women in Red Savers

I don't know if you are familiar with this group but I'm one of the member here. A couple of months ago I was reading articles about saving money, being frugal, live below your means to become successful and etc. I was inspired by one author talking about frugality and getting ahead by not competing with the Joneses. At one point in my life I was addicted to shop which I know is not right anymore and that I need to stop it. So I seek help by reading articles thru the internet about saving so I get motivated to really stop to shop when I don't need to and save for the future. I also watch Oprah's show about rugs to riches and riches to rugs and other shows that really helped me think twice before I buy something when I'm in the store. I told hubby to stop me when I'm out of control again buying stuff that I don't really need or use. In this case, hubby is my stopper and an angel to help me think before I buy. hehe One article mentioned about the Women in Red Savers so I visit the website and read what others were talking about. I was impressed on how the members motivate and help other members to really save. They have plans on how much they want to save for the year, what projects they want to spend their money to and etc. It's really amazing how this group support each other and give advice to those who are confused on how to get started. According to one member there that it's really hard to stop not to spend once you're used to it but they are still there when you need them. Applause, applause, applause when you save something even if it's just a little bit which made it more fun and advice when you go back to spending for non-sense again. hehe I'm not active there coz now I'm addicted to blogging but I visit there every now and then to stay motivated. haha
